Many fashion designers see the potential in the market for lingerie and swimwear. For this reason, the market is growing very fast.This is a potential hot market for everybody.

Colors like yellow, orange, fuchsia and red should probably be avoided if you don't want to call attention to yourself while wearing a bikini. Likewise, avoid loud splashy designs that have big flowers, imprints or spirals that focus on a specific part of your body.

The term swimsuit tends to drag up images of aged aunts in mothball smelling one pieces that lack appropriate chest support. The word bikini, however, brings forth all of those scantily clad, sports illustrated models. You probably don't even remember what they were actually wearing, where as the loudly obnoxious floral print of Aunt Edna's ancient suit is burned into your memory.

25. Michelle Hunziker(September 2, 2008 - Photo by Photo Agency)

Swiss actress and model Michelle Hunziker, 31, was spotted with a mystery man at Ipanema beach, in Rio de Janeiro, where she is enjoying her vacation. Former wife of Italian singer Eros Ramazzotti, from who she had a daughter, Aurora, 12, she became known as a TV personality in Italy and Germany. Currently she hosts 'Striscia la Notizia' at Italian TV station Canale 5. Michelle Hunziker isn't very well-known on this side of the pond either, but the Swiss TV presenter is a favorite of Italian and German audiences. And apparently, of everyone who saw her in this barely-there bikini.

Bikini got its name from an adventurous and brave little woman fashion designer tired of wearing swimsuits designed by a man. She knew the bang it would make on society would be as big as the little Island undergoing nuclear testing in the South Pacific; but what she probably would not have known is that today it is a multi-billion dollar business.

Women's swimwear can stretch up to 100% in some cases. Typically 75%, but what this really means is that the material will compress the body mass it encloses as it stretches more and more. If you stretch bikini swimwear material beyond its maximum comfort zone then unsightly bulges can result. What this means for most people is that if your hips are 41" then do not order a medium bottom. Order a large. A medium will fit but unless you have very good skin and muscle tone, then those unsightly bulges will probably result.
